Voice Director[]
Note[]
- Since late 2021/early 2022, Robbie has stopped appearing regularly in anime dubs and some video games dubbing due to becoming a mainstream voice actor in recent years. However, he occasionally returns to do dubbing as long as it is reprisal of a previous role or a Union dub.
